The 28-year-old, from North Shields, took to the world famous Pyramid Stage on Friday night (June 24) for the first time during his career.
And it seems it was a resounding success, as he was seen on stage overcome with emotion as the crowd chanted his own lyrics back at him.

Elsewhere in the festival, attendees can enjoy music at Other Stage as well as others, or take in the sights the event has to offer.
That might include Glastonbury’s sexiest hidden nightclub, Meat Rack, where there’s a two-hour queue but seriously cheap entry for those who wait it out.
And fans who weren’t lucky enough to get tickets can tune in on the BBC.
